Edward finally looked at them.
“I did.”
Daniel's heart broke.
“Why?”
“Because I was afraid.”
“Of what?”
“Losing everything.”
Edward admitted that Richard had discovered financial crimes inside the company.
Instead of exposing him, Edward joined the scheme.
But Anna's father found evidence.
Richard wanted him silenced.
Edward said he tried to stop it.
“But I wasn't brave enough.”
Daniel stared at him.
“What happened that night?”
Edward began to cry.
“Your father confronted Richard.”
“And?”
“Richard threatened him.”
“Did Richard kill him?”
Edward shook his head.
“No.”
“Then who?”
Edward whispered,
“Thomas.”
The room became silent.
Thomas had staged the accident that killed Anna's father.
Richard covered it up.
Victoria later learned the truth and helped intimidate anyone who might expose them.
Edward had remained silent out of fear.
Daniel stepped backward.
“You let an innocent man take the blame.”
“I know.”
“You destroyed my family.”
“I know.”
Anna's eyes filled with tears.
“My father deserved justice.”
Edward nodded.
“He did.”
Then he handed Daniel a sealed envelope.
“This is everything.”
Inside were bank records, emails, recordings, and photographs.
Enough to prove the entire conspiracy.
But there was one more surprise.
Edward had secretly recorded Richard years earlier.
Richard's voice was unmistakable.
“Carter knows too much.”
Thomas answered,
“Then we make sure he can't talk.”
Anna closed her eyes.
For three years, she had wondered whether her father had died because of bad luck.
Now she finally knew.
It wasn't an accident.
It was a crime.
And the people responsible would finally face the consequences.
Edward surrendered himself to the authorities.
Thomas was arrested several days later.
